Answer:
electricity is not used.
Explanation:
Power from the Sun
The Sun is the main energy source for satellites, which is why all satellites have solar panel arrays mounted on them. Each array contains thousands of small solar cells which are made of silicon – a material that allows sunlight to be turned into electrical current.

Spacecraft that orbit Earth, called satellites, are close enough to the Sun that they can often use solar power. These spacecraft have solar panels which convert the Sun's energy into electricity that powers the spacecraft. The electricity from the solar panels charges a battery in the spacecraft.
